Fall-ing for Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

Im so excited about this recipe with you today. It is officially my first fall recipe and Im super pumped about cooking and baking all the things over the next few months. I also cant believe were almost officially in fall. Im sort of in denial.

Im going to Verona, Italy on Tuesday and the weather looks still pretty summer-y. Im packing lots of summer dresses (that are lose because pasta!) and a few sneakers. Im packing a camera and I plan on eating every pasta dish I come across. It should be both fun and educational.

Before I hit the road, I wanted to share a super fall recipe with you and I think this one is perfect. Its super easy to throw together and the cream cheese topping is DELICIOUS. Theres a chance I just peeled off the top of the muffin and ate that all by itself. There were no regrets!

I also love how the swirl of the orange and white lookits so pretty.  The muffins are super fluffy and close to what a pumpkin cupcake would taste like but were gonna call them muffins so we can eat them before noon.
